Parish administrator letter

Fellow Parishioners,

St. Ann's continues to be a community of active Catholics, many of whom are engaged in several different ministries while others key in on areas of special interest to themselves or their families. For some, it can be a daunting task to find their way in a parish of this size, servicing almost 3800 families and encompassing some 85 ministerial opportunities for service.

Stewardship requires some thought and the catalog of activities in this book is intended to make your opportunities clearer and more comprehensible, your path to action straighter, and your decision making easier. It not only explains the many options for service available, but also gives you clear and usable contact information to facilitate your ability to become meaningfully involved as soon as you are ready to go. Your participation makes us all stronger, and we look forward to having all members of our community active in some facet of stewardship service.

To those who have been with us for awhile, we appreciate all your efforts on behalf of St. Anns and look forward to reaping the continued rewards of your involvement. To the families that are new to the community, know that you are welcome and all of us look forward to the new ideas and approaches to ministry that many of you will bring from your experiences gained in communities in other parts of the country.

St. Ann's staff is here to facilitate your experience at St. Ann's. If you have questions regarding any of the information listed in this book, or need additional guidance regarding any aspect of St. Ann's community, please call us or stop by and see us. We will do everything we can to provide you with the information and help you need.


Sincerely,

Jim Herrel
Parish Administrator
